Global developmental delay in a child with asphyxia neonatorum: Why search for an additional explanation?

Asphyxia Neonatorum.

I have presented the material in three sections, the first concerns the antenatal events leading to foetal anoxia, the second deals with the management of labour, and the third discusses methods of treatment which may be applicable in domiciliary midwifery. I have quoted fairly extensively from the National Perinatal Mortality Survey (1961) carried out in 1958 under the auspices of the National...

Asphyxia Neonatorum

Hepatic profile in asphyxia neonatorum.

Perinatal asphyxia is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality in India. In addition to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and neurological deficits, there is evidence of multi-system insult (l). Hepatic dysfunction is caused by redistributing cardiac output away from nonvital viscera to the heart, brain and adrenal glands (2). The present study was carried out to determine the extent of live...

An Electronic Resuscitator for Possible Use in Asphyxia Neonatorum †

Many methods have been proposed for resuscitation of the newborn but there is as yet no single widely accepted approach to this commonly recurring problem. It is the purpose of this paper to review briefly the electronic methods of resuscitation and to describe animal experiments with a simple electronic apparatus which may be of value for the human newborn. In 1948 Sarnoff et al.' reported ani...

Practice parameter: Evaluation of the child with global developmental delay

Objective: To make evidence-based recommendations concerning the evaluation of the child with a nonprogressive global developmental delay. Methods: Relevant literature was reviewed, abstracted, and classified. Recommendations were based on a four-tiered scheme of evidence classification. Results: Global developmental delay is common and affects 1% to 3% of children. Given yields of about 1%, ro...
